Chapter 1129: Breaking through Mulu City
The main force of the Jin army quickly surrounded Mulu City and was ready to attack the city, and only needed Hua'an to give an order, and it was possible to launch a strong attack on Mulu City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, the army is all in place, and the three hundred thunderbolts are ready to attack the city." Wang San Zhengse said.
Hua An looked in the direction of Mulu City, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Our army is in a posture of attacking the city, if it can force the Persian army to surrender, it would be the best, immediately go and send them to persuade them to surrender, and tell them the requirements of the Great Jin." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San answered, and immediately sent a school captain to the wall of Mulu to persuade the Persian army in the city to surrender.
The Persian generals who defended Mulu City had long been prepared to defend, and when they saw that the Jin army actually came to persuade them to surrender, they released an arrow at the Jin military captain without saying a word, and hit the Jin military captain in the shoulder.
The Jin lieutenant ran back in pain and said that the Persian army would not surrender.
"Your Majesty, since the Persian army refuses to surrender, then we don't have to be polite, let's attack the city immediately!" Wang San Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded, and said, "Then let's attack the city!" ”
"Siege, siege." The orders for the siege were conveyed down in turn, and the soldiers of the Jin army heard the order and began to make final preparations before the siege.
"Huhuhu......" 300 newly assembled thunderbolt vehicles immediately fired thunderbolts and launched a strong attack on Mulu City.
"Boom, boom, boom......" A large number of thunderbolts were projected onto the city wall, producing a huge cracking sound.
The Persian army had never seen such a powerful thunderbolt, and all of them were immediately stunned, and they scurried back and forth on the city walls, and many soldiers were injured, even the arms of the Persian generals were slightly injured.
"What the hell is this, what the hell." The Persian general roared loudly.
"General, our army has suffered heavy casualties, let's go down to the city and hide!"
"No, you must defend the city and lie down." The Persian general shouted.
After a period of panic, a large number of Persian soldiers and horses lay on the walls and shielded their bodies to minimize casualties.
Seeing that the Persian army was still able to stabilize after being in chaos, Hua An suddenly sighed that the Persian army was still relatively elite, no wonder it could dominate Central Asia and be the hegemon of Central Asia.
"The thunderbolt was extended and projectiled, and the army immediately attacked." Hua'an calmly gave the order to attack the city.
Suddenly, the thunderbolt adjusted its angle and threw the thunderbolt to a farther position to prevent accidental injury to its own people, while a large number of Jin troops held shields and drove ladders to launch a strong attack on Mulu City.
"The Jin army has attacked the city, and they all rise up to defend the city." The Persian general shouted.
When all the Persian soldiers heard the order, they all got up from the city wall, and picked up the weapons in their hands, ready to resist the siege of the Jin army.
The siege soldiers and horses of the Jin army, in addition to the sword and shield soldiers holding swords and shields, also have a large number of crossbowmen, when the sword and shield soldiers climb up the ladder, a large number of crossbowmen continue to release arrows to the city wall, in order to cover the siege of the sword and shield soldiers.
"The resistance of the Persian soldiers and horses is not bad, at least much stronger than that of Tuyuhun." Hua An looked in the direction of Mulu City and said with a smile.
Wang San nodded, and said with a straight face: "What the king said is that the Persian soldiers and horses are much stronger than Tuyuhun, but even so, they can't resist the attack of our army, and it's only a matter of time before Mulu City is breached." ”
"Yes! Our army will definitely be able to break through Mulu City, however, Tuyuhun seems to have guessed the intention of our army, and actually went south to Tianzhu Kingdom, I don't know if he plans to take refuge in Tianzhu or capture Tianzhu Kingdom. Hua An frowned and said.
"Your Majesty, although the Tianzhu Kingdom is much weaker than Persia, it also has nearly 100,000 troops, which is by no means something that Tuyuhun can capture.
Hua An smiled and said: "If Tianzhu refuses to accept Tuyuhun and will definitely be destroyed, if Tianzhu accepts Tuyuhun, then our army will have a good reason to attack Tianzhu Kingdom, which is also a good thing." ”
"Why, the Persian kingdom has not yet been conquered, and the king is thinking about conquering the Tianzhu kingdom again." Wang San asked in surprise.
Hua An smiled: "Since you have come, why don't you take it together?" What I have in Dajin is strength, am I still afraid of more territory? ”
"The king is wise, then let us conquer Persia first, and then take Tianzhu and open up an extremely vast territory." Wang San said arrogantly.
"Haha!" Hua An laughed happily.
The attack of the Jin army was extremely fierce, and the Persian army was very difficult to resist, but because of the abundance of soldiers, for this reason, the soldiers and horses in the Persian city continued to reinforce the city and fight with the attacking Jin army.
Attacking from the city wall, the pressure of the Jin army is still relatively large, however, the city gate is a weak place, after some preparation, hundreds of Jin army soldiers placed a large number of thunderbolts under the city gate of Mulu City, just light it, you can blow up the city gate, and even the entire city gate tower can be blown down.
......With a loud bang, the city gate was blown to pieces, and the huge shock wave made the entire city wall shake, and the Persian army that was fighting on the city wall fell a lot.
Since the gate of the "Kill ......" city has been breached, the main force of the Jin army naturally went all out to kill the city in order to occupy Mulu City as soon as possible.
"General, the Jin army has broken through the city gate, and the city can't hold it, let's evacuate quickly!" A Persian general shouted.
The Persian general gritted his teeth and looked out of the city, touched his forehead, and ordered loudly: "Retreat, the whole army retreats immediately." After saying that, under the protection of his own soldiers, he ran down the city wall, and fled in the direction of the west gate on his horse, and after the Persian army at the city gate lost its commander, they all ran to the other three city gates, preparing to escape from Mulu City.
After an hour of attack, the Jin army finally broke through the east gate of Mulu City, and entered the city through the east gate, and launched a pursuit of the fleeing Persian army.
The Persian army scattered and fled, and did not dare to fight with the Jin army that entered the city, because their morale had long been blown up by the Jin army's thunderbolts, and fleeing for their lives became their only choice at this moment.
In the direction of the west gate of Mulu City, the Persian general ordered the city gate to be opened, and rushed out of the city with his soldiers and horses, preparing to flee from the west gate to the capital Ctesiphon.
Seeing that the Persian army in Mulu City was preparing to break and flee, the 20,000 Jin troops defending here immediately came to their senses, and immediately bent their bows and arrows, preparing for an asymmetrical slaughter.
"Arrows, arrows." The generals of the Jin army gave a military order loudly.
"Whoosh...... Under the order of the Jin generals, all the Jin soldiers immediately fired arrows and shot at the Persian soldiers and horses who were rushing outside the city.
"Uh......" With the rain of arrows of the Jin army, the Persian army that rushed out of the city fell a large part and blocked the road out of the city.
"General, the Jin army has completely blocked the city gate, and we can't rush out." The general shouted anxiously.
The Persian general sighed and ordered loudly: "Shield, raise the shield, and kill a bloody path." ”
Suddenly, the shield bearers in the Persian army immediately rushed forward and held their shields to kill the Jin army outside the city.
The Jin army's bow and crossbow shooting will naturally not have much effect on the Persian shield bearers, but the Jin army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and naturally it will not be afraid of the Persian army.
"Soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy." The Jin generals gave the order to prepare for battle.
The soldiers of the Jin army in the front row put away all their bows and crossbows, and drew out their long and short weapons, ready to fight.
The Persian army that rushed out of the city ...... fought to the death with the 20,000 Jin army defending outside the city.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army have already been arrayed, and a large number of Persian soldiers and horses are rushing out of the city step by step, and naturally do not have any advantage in the formation.
Under the internal and external attacks of the Jin army, the fighting spirit of the Persian soldiers became weaker and weaker, and even had the intention of surrendering, and all this made the Persian general helpless, he was very eager for reinforcements to arrive at the moment, but he himself knew that the 100,000 Tai Xifeng reinforcements were at least 100 miles away, and they could not quench their thirst from far water.
The situation at the South and North Gates was similar to that of the West Gate, and the Persian army was unable to break through the Jin blockade and had to retreat into the city in defeat.
"Surrender or die, surrender or die." The Jin soldiers loudly persuaded the Persian army to surrender, wanting the Persian army to give up resistance.
"General, we have no hope of victory, let's surrender! In this way, the soldiers may still have hope of survival. A Persian general shouted.
The Persian general sighed and said angrily: "This bastard of Pratt has not arrived in Mulu City for so long, if his soldiers and horses could have arrived earlier, our army would not have been defeated so badly." ”
"General, what's the use of talking about this now, we have no better way out than to surrender." The general said helplessly.
The Persian general gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Surrender, the whole army surrenders immediately." ”
Under the orders of the Persian generals, the Persian army, which was no longer able to resist, all laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Jin army.
In order to prevent these Persian troops from making trouble when the reinforcements arrived, Hua'an let all the surrendered Persian soldiers enter the designated area, and asked them not to move around at will, otherwise they would be killed, and the Persian soldiers were already prisoners, so they had to completely obey the orders of the Jin army, and honestly stay in the designated area, not daring to move at all.
"Your Majesty, our army has annihilated 10,000 enemies, and the Persian army that surrendered is 50,000 people, so many soldiers and horses consume a huge amount of grain and grass every day, and it is not a great burden to keep them." Wang San said softly.
Hua An smiled and said, "It's indeed a very big burden, but Mulu City has enough grain and grass, what are you afraid of." ”
"Your Majesty, do you just keep them like this, for fear that they will be a scourge sooner or later! It's better not to do it all at once, and it's all clicking. Wang San whispered.
Hua An waved his hand and said softly: "No, by all means, these Persian soldiers and horses are still useful, besides, my Great Jin King Division is a benevolent and righteous division, since the Persian army has surrendered, don't hurt them, and take care of them as much as possible, don't let them feel wronged." ”
"Your Majesty, why do we have to take care of them?" Wang San felt very puzzled.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "If I want to conquer Persia in the Great Jin, it is absolutely impossible to rely on force alone, there must be Huairou's means, and being kind to the captives is Huairou's means, and this king intends to include them in the mercenary army and let them serve as the vanguard of the attack on Tianzhu." ”
"Let them act as the vanguard of the attack on the Tianzhu Kingdom, the king is wise!" Wang San finally understood Hua'an's intentions and seemed extremely happy.
Subsequently, Hua'an issued an order for the 60,000 troops of Song Cheng's army to be stationed on the high ground not far from the city, while the remaining 60,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Mulu City, in order to form a rivalry of each other, waiting for the arrival of the main Persian army.
The news that Mulu City was broken by the Jin army was immediately detected by the scouts under the command of the Persian general Pratt, and immediately told Pratt this important news.
Knowing that the Jin army had captured Mulu City so quickly, Pratt was extremely shocked, after all, in Mulu City, 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Khorasan region had been gathered, and the strength was still very considerable, and such a strong strength was actually defeated by the Jin army, so that the Jin army broke through the city in just over an hour.
"Fools, all of them are a group of fools, and the entire army of 60,000 can't hold Mulu City, so I'm angry." The Persian general Pratt roared angrily.
"General, I think it's very strange here, the Jin army is only 120,000, and the defenders of Mulu City have 60,000, twice the strength advantage, it can actually break through the city so quickly, this is too unbelievable, it is impossible to happen, unless the general defending the city was bought by the Jin army and secretly opened the city gate, so that such a situation can occur." One of the generals looked at Pratt and said.
When Pratt heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "Yes, what you said is right, there is indeed such a possibility, these bastards stationed in Khorasan have long been damaged by the merchants of Tocharo, they only have money in their eyes, as long as they give money, there is nothing they can't do, even if they surrender to the Jin Kingdom, shameless, very shameless." After speaking, his expression was still angry.
"General, our army has 100,000 elites, but the Jin army also has 120,000 soldiers and horses, and their strength is very strong. One of the generals said loudly.
Pratt nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, you must first figure out the deployment of the Jin army before you can attack it." ”
Subsequently, the Persian general Pratt and his subordinates got together to study how to deal with the Jin army, and sent multiple scouts to the direction of Mulu City to investigate the situation, so as to know themselves and their opponents.
After learning about the deployment of the Jin army, Pratt and his subordinates led 100,000 Persian elites to rush towards Mulu City. (To be continued.) )
